Location Bias of Identifiers in Clinical Narratives

Scrubbing identifying information from narrative clinical documents is a critical first step to preparing the data for secondary use purposes, such as translational research. Evidence suggests that the differential distribution of protected health information (PHI) in clinical documents could be used as additional features to improve the performance of automated de-identification algorithms or ...

Character Tracking and the Understanding of Narratives

/. Perspective In Undemanding Recent work on the understanding of natural language narratives has emphasized representations composed of goals, plans, and their outcomes. Causal chains [121, hierarchical goal/outcome graphs [3] [16], story grammar parse trees [9] [10] [15], and causally linked networks [6] [7] have been proposed as models of the mental representation of a story. A problem that ...

Yarncraft: Location Aware Narratives in Virtual Space

Location-aware narratives are a form of hypertext in which the path of the narrative is determined by the reader’s physical location. In this paper we adapt an existing model of location-aware sculptural hypertext to make it suitable for navigating in virtual space, and create an extension to an existing virtual world to demonstrate how hyper-narratives written in this framework may be consumed...

Strategies of self-regulation in goal attainment versus goal maintenance

We propose that there exists an important difference between attainment and maintenance in terms of the goal pursuit strategies for which they call. Specifically, we propose that goal attainment calls for the use of eager approach strategies, whereas goal maintenance calls for the use of vigilant avoidance strategies. We distinguish between attainment versus maintenance as two different goal pu...
